Winner of Best Mediterranean Cuisine Book (Gourmand World Cookbook Awards)

"The best Egyptian cookbook I have ever come across. . . . Dyna gives us more than a taste of Egypt, she shares with us her genuine passion for food and she entices us to discover or re-discover Egyptian cooking."--Lisa Kaaki, Arab News

A modern approach to one of the world's oldest cuisines, new in paperback!

Combining mouthwatering recipes with a fresh, contemporary design, The Taste of Egypt brings the sophisticated colors and flavors of Egyptian and Middle Eastern cuisine to the modern home kitchen in unpretentious, down-to-earth style. Impress your dinner guests with sublime appetizers such as stuffed-vine leaves and roast eggplant dip. Cook up a storm with silky cumin-infused lentil soup, sensational spiced meatballs, and delicious artichokes cooked in red pepper sauce. There are summery salads to fill a picnic hamper and hearty slow-cooked beans and basterma (fenugreek-spiced cured beef) to evoke the bustling warmth of a Middle Eastern food market. And the recipes for sweet delights are designed to satisfy even the most persistent sweet tooth. Presented in a vibrant, accessible style, The Taste of Egypt is a celebration of a great culinary tradition and an exciting addition to the repertoire of the modern home cook.

Dyna Eldaief spent almost two decades honing her craft and recalling the aromas of her Egyptian mother's home-cooked meals while capturing the recipes of her heritage in The Taste of Egypt (AUC Press, 2016), which was awarded a Gourmand International Cookbook Prize. As part of the writing process, she started a food blog and a YouTube channel which resulted in an invitation to appear as a contestant on the Middle East edition of the reality television cooking show, "The Taste." She is also the author of Egyptian Flavors: 50 Recipes (AUC Press, 2021) and lives with her husband and three children in Melbourne, Australia.
